Hello everyone! This week on Deep Cuts, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Evan Draper! Guitarist for Florida metalcore band Grieve and cinematographer behind the upcoming horror film It Ends. Which I had the chance to see and it’s amazing.

We talked about Grieve’s newest releases, “It Followed Me Home” and their cover of Flyleaf’s “I’m So Sick,” as well as Evan’s journey balancing music and filmmaking. We also dove into It Ends, one of the year’s most anticipated horror films (100% on rotten tomatoes btw), hitting theaters August 21 through Neon.

It was an awesome conversation about creativity, horror, heavy music, and chasing your passion. Huge thanks to Evan for taking the time to come on the show!

Hello everyone!
On this episode of Deep Cuts, I got to sit down with singer and songwriter Elena Siegman, the legendary and iconic voice behind some of the most beloved songs in the Call of Duty Zombies universe, including "115", "Beauty of Annihilation", and "The One".
Elena has a new original track coming out soon!
"The Source" coming out 6-26-26
This was an incredible conversation and I'm so honored to talk with her. We started talking about doing an interview back in February but things kept coming up and changing but we did it!
I probably say this a lot, but this really is the most exciting interview I've done (probably my favorite shhhh) and I can't wait for everyone to listen to this, so go ahead!
It's a lengthy one, we both loved talking and I enjoyed just listening to her stories. So sit back, relax, grab some snacks and drinks, and I'll see you next time!

Hi everyone! This is a special one for me.. not only because it's with one of the sickest metal bands out there. It's because this was my FIRST interview ever! The audio sucks, I had no idea what I was doing, I was just so happy to be doing it at all. Glad I still have it and that I'm still doing this. So hope you enjoy and here's to the future of Deep Cuts!

Tonight we have actor/filmmaker Sean Whalen on the slab. You may know Sean from projects such as Twister, The People Under The Stairs, Lost, Hatchet III, Jersey Boys, and so much more! Now he's directing a creature feature horror comedy CRUST!
So thankful he took some time out of his day to talk with me.

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another episode of Deep Cuts!
Today I'm thrilled to introduce as my guest, Sevan Najarian.
Sevan is the director/producer of animated feature "MARS," the last project from cult comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U'Know before the death of beloved member Trevor Moore.

The movie revolves around Kyle, who enters a contest to go to Mars only half seriously, since he’s getting married in a few days. When he wins, he decides to ditch his wedding to escape to the red planet. This would all be great for him except the luxury accommodations are a facade, his shipmates are insane, and the crew gets stranded on Mars with no way home.
